Abstract
The "lipstick tree" is another name for the ornamental plant Bixa orellana L., which is indigenous to South and Central America, the Caribbean Islands, and other regions of Asia. The plant, also known as "Sinduri" or "Latkan," is utilized in India's food, dye, cosmetics, and traditional medicine sectors. Commercially, the plant seeds are significant because they yield bixin, a carotenoid that colours dairy products and is used to manufacture "sindur" and "lipstick." The primary substances present in various portions of this plant include carotenoids, apo carotenoids, terpenes, terpenoids, sterols, and aliphatic chemicals. The various plant parts exhibit a variety of possible health advantages, including antibacterial, anti-hyperglycemic, anti-histaminic, anti-diarrheal, anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant qualities. The current study provides an overview of Bixa orellana L.
